How to detect error when app is running on the phone.

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

So if an error occurs on the simulator, the simulation will stop and ask to restart it.

Now on a phone, if the error occurs, I am going to guess that the app will freeze (not sure about this.)

If an error does occur, the user would not know about it.

So, is there a way where if an error occurs; the user will be prompted a message saying there is an error?

I don’t understand what you mean.

You can always wrap in a pcall() to stop errors crashing your app.  You will to check the response to ascertain if the pcall trapped an error or not.
